Abstract (English):	We report the case of a 56 years-old man with a 35-years history of alcohol abuse, but no other illness. The patient presented masses on shoulders, breasts and flanks that had enlarged progressively over the previous two and a half years, and that hindered his work by restricting mobility. Computed Tomography revealed non-encapsulated excess fat deposits evenly distributed on shoulders, breasts and abdomen, without affecting the deep structures. Awareness of the two types of Benign symmetric lipomatosis is necessary because of their differences, both in location of the lipomatous masses and in the involvement of the deep structures. We therefore report this case of type II Benign symmetric lipomatosis without cervical or deep structure involvement. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
Abstract (Spanish):	Presentamos el caso de un varón de 56 años de edad con historia de 35 años de abuso de alcohol y sin otra patología asociada, que presentaba masas en hombros, mamas y flancos que habían aumentado de tamaño de forma progresiva durante los últimos dos años y medio, y que dificultaban su movilidad y su actividad laboral. El estudio mediante Tomografía Axial Computerizada apreció un exceso de deposito graso de distribución homogénea no encapsulado (difuso) sobre los hombros, mamas y cintura abdominal, sin afectación de estructuras profundas. Consideramos importante conocer los dos tipos existentes de Lipomatosis Simétrica Benigna, por sus diferencias tanto en la localización de las masas lipomatosas como en la afectación de estructuras profundas. Es por ello que aportamos este caso de Lipomatosis Simétrica Benigna tipo II sin afectación cervical ni de estructuras profundas. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
